The' south branch backed, up east of the Belgrave road covering the prairie, the water ex- tending right, to the rear of the old Union Factory, and overflowiag the road as far up as Scott Street: Here some families hadto be moved out, as the water surrounded the houses, and crept perilously near the floors. But is wae south of the second tridge that the most damage was done, and one could the inore readily realize the tremendous force behind the Water. Here the rciad the ,full width a the flats is covered with huge cakes of ice piled up in some places four or five feet high. Fences and telephone poles suffered to some extent. With this road cornpletey blocked on Sat - today with ice and water:Wing-ham was shut off completely from the dis- trict east. This will not last long as men are at work cleaning off the mass Down in Lower Wingham Condi- tions were very much worse, ei.nd eee sernbled a scene in Uncle: Tom's. Cab- in when Eliza crossed' the iee. The sudden .rise in: the water caught' 'the- peoPle unawares,: and Many were iso- lated in their homes, 'While the Wa- ter rose up to the lower windows, and forced the people to the top storey. 13ut the • velga boatmen,' the Potter boys, manned the life boat took 'big chances with a swift current :and fite small icebergs and resthed the ini- Prieoned, taking Some ant hem the Upstairs windows. In,'this, part the water completely covered the Agri- tailtural grounds; extending tip as far as the new Memorial Gates, while the Whole • flats, including the old race track grounds were under water. Forttinately the weather turned pooler on Saturday checking the :How of water, which : dropped. over four feet by Sunday afternoon, • As the river is, comparatively Open below, it looks as though the worst .of • :the flood is orer.

Other places have used dynamite to open up the rivers and streams about freshet times, with very satisfactory reeults. It skims just as reasonable the sante benefit Might occur here if a channel in the Maitland were blasted out at the bej,d,ges and the Belgrave road, at the 'old bridge to the race track and. also kt the bend in Lower Town. Make a channel for the we - ter to flow freely and the damage is eliminated. Josephine Street is no place of beauty these days, with a long win- ter's accumulation of filth covering the pavement. Mayor F,ells, as the Chairinan of the Street Committee might well put four men at Work with brushes for one day and clean off the refuse, when nature will soon remove the remaining ice. Cleanli- ness is a wholesome virtue and the quick removal of this mess will add to the betterinent of the town and be more in harmony with its general condition. And while the clean-up question is being discussed, another matter is ag- itating not a few citizens— the ques- BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE ENDED The evliite-robed visitor claimed an- other bright ermine :ii. last week, AN;hen Miss Seii, daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Frank Sell, passed away • after an illness of six weeks,, despite all that medical skill and tender nura- ing could do. Deceased was active in many circles, and deservedly pop- ular among her companions and ac- quaintances, who knew and apprec- iated her qualities of mind and body. She was clerk in Buller's store since its opening, and discharged her duties with the utmost satisfaction to both employer and the public. An active member of the Baptist Church, she took a deep interest in its progress, and was President of the Mission Band, Secretary of the Sabbath School, and pianist of the B. Y. P. U. Her death will be particularly felt by these organizations, where het - abilities and zeal were readily recog- nized. The funeral was held from her late residence on Wednesday afternoon, services being conducted by her past- or, Rev. Wyburn E. Smith, who gave warm tribute to her high Christian character, • The funeral was very largely attended, friends coming from Toronto, Brantford, Stratford, Lon- don and Detroit. Surviving besides her parents are two brothers, James and Fred, both of Wingham, and a sister, Mrs. W. Wilson, of Detroit. Interment 'as made. in the Wingham tion of garbage disposal.
